What a great game that kid had. Nice to see the saints orginization and the saint fans stick with him. The amount of hype he had coming in the league as the #2 overall pick he has come a long way. I bet their glad they didn't write him off or try to trade him off for nothing.

I don't think anyone (except maybe Cam Cameron) would ever have written off a talent like Reggie Bush...especially in a wide open offense like Sean Payton has installed. Bush will never be a premier or every down back, but he certainly has what it takes to make an explosive play.

Re: Reggie Bush

I just realized I probably walked right into a "so we shouldn't give up on Ginn" statement...but it's quite the opposite. Ginn just doesn't cut the mustard as a football player. Bush can make guys miss, and even run over a DB...the only thing Ginn can run over is some hurdles. He's fast and belongs on a track, not a football field.

Re: Reggie Bush

I absolutely was referring to Ginn. The same things were said about Bush his first couple years in the league.

Nice to see a franchise not give up on a guy that they picked #2, had a little patience and he put them in the NFC championship game.

not only that, but Reggie Bush did NOT take New Orleans to a championship game. More like Drew Brees, his receivers, Darren Sharper and Sean Payton did. Put those guys in Miami, and Ted Ginn would still be mediocre.

Too bad there isn't 54 spots on the roster so we could keep a return man.

Ski - yeah well, touche

Iowa - Bush had his best day as a pro in that game, yes Bush was one of the biggest reasons the Saints won that game, kid was unreal.

If you want to believe that, go ahead. The score was 45-14. If you think Bush took them there, or was even a big reason, go right ahead.

Re: Reggie Bush

He played good against a bad defence AZ.

Tonight he did crap except for a broken play TD which was big for them LOLbut none the less not very productive.

especially that muffed punt return. To bad the Vikes couldn't execute a handoff and make 'em pay.

They need to cut that guy or trade him for a 4th rounder.

I think Bush's thing, as with Ginn, is being afraid to play physical. The past couple games he (bush) has been lowering his shoulder and hitting guys, and it has helped him tremendously. It's been said over and over, but if Bush can learn to run some guys over and not be afraid to take hits, he can be one helluva rb.
